Video Description
Want to make the process of building modular, reusable user interface components simple and intuitive? React.js is the answer, with its Learn Once, Write Anywhere approach. This course will help you understand the power behind this approach and build beautiful, modern, and modularized UIs with React’s latest version.
This course will cover all of the React.js basics such as its API, which will help you create elements and components; the virtual DOM and the JSX syntax extension; using state; working with browser events; and component lifecycle methods. You will be building an application from scratch throughout the course and using the knowledge you've gained in a practical way. You will also learn to update various elements of a site or application seamlessly without delay, without disrupting the rest of the display or requiring the user to refresh.Also get introduced to the new concept of hooks and get ready to scratch the surface of it. Finally, you will work with a server API to persist data using the local storage.
By the end of the course, you will be more than capable of using ReactJ.js tools to build several UI elements, making them reactive to user input, and extending your knowledge of DOM manipulation to customize your own UIs in the future.

Style and Approach
We start from scratch, learning about what React is and how it’s different from traditional JavaScript development via the DOM. Lessons start with simple one-off components to demonstrate and practice using the concepts and features of React. We then move on to combining and nesting multiple components on a single page, and sharing data between components. Once we’re able to manipulate sample datasets, we'll start pulling in data from third-party APIs and then add URL routing to create a dynamic multi-page application. These will reflect real-world scenarios. Our goal is to gradually build our confidence and knowledge in working with a React application environment
